Doublets are thin slice opal glued onto ironstone backing
which is natural and this greatly enhances the colour and silver is easy to work
with to bezel set over the doublet.

Most fire opal is form Coober Pedy and makes good doublets especially
the shell s that are opalized and these are thin and make the brightest doublets
earrings

Larger doublets may have patterns from flagstaff to straw pattern
to block pattern and these are popular on swing bales as the pattern reflects
so good when wearing.

Claw set is mainly used in smaller sizes and larger sizes
have bezel set earrings

Calibrated designs can also be set in silver earrings with
cz s that are manmade diamonds to create more of a formal design.

Other gemstones have been popular as combined setting
including garnets, amethyst, sapphire and these blend well with opal doublets
to make a unique individual design

The price of a doublet is roughly only 10% of that of a
solid so they represent good value and opal is an ideal earring due to its spectrum
of colours and also it is very difficult to find matching solid opals for reasonable
price

Colours can vary considerably and sometimes one doublet may
be fraction brighter than the other one as sometimes one opal is slightly more
green or more blue than the other but we try and match a s closely a s possible
but cannot always be exact colour
